40 West 55TH Street #4D, New York City, NY 10019

<p>This impeccably renovated residence has been completely reimagined with an emphasis on flow, functionality, and refined, modern finishes.</p> <p>The home opens into a spacious living and dining area centered around a restored, operable wood-burning fireplace, an increasingly rare luxury in Midtown. The proportions are comfortable and generous, offering an effortless layout for both everyday living and entertaining. Garden-facing views provide pin-drop quiet, making the apartment remarkably peaceful.&nbsp;</p> <p>The kitchen was rebuilt from the studs with custom millwork cabinetry, Silver Roots marble countertops, a centered cooktop, top-tier Miele appliances, a built-in commercial hot water and filtered water dispenser and a dedicated chef's workspace. Directly off the kitchen is a large pantry with extensive storage and a washer/dryer. The millwork continues seamlessly into this area, creating a clean, cohesive built-in look.</p> <p>The redesigned floor plan includes a large primary suite with an expanded en-suite bathroom featuring double vanities, a walk-in shower, Florim large-format marble tile, Phylrich fixtures, matte-black hardware, and LED mirrors. The secondary bedroom offers a handmade thin-brick accent wall and a custom closet designed for flexible use. The second full bathroom was also fully renovated with upgraded materials, added cabinetry and Jacuzzi tub.&nbsp;</p> <p>Additional features include refinished hardwood floors, Benjamin Moore satin paint throughout, custom fitted closets, new through-the-wall A/C units, and a newly fabricated entry door modeled on the original but rebuilt with a sound-blocking core for enhanced quiet. The home is also fully outfitted with a Philips Hue smart lighting system, allowing complete control of light levels and ambiance. A private storage unit is included.</p> <p>40 West 55th Street is a 1924 Rosario Candela-designed prewar condominium that underwent a $3.5M restoration featured in The New York Times.

Pets are welcome.</p> <p>Just moments from Central Park, MoMA, Carnegie Hall, Rockefeller Center, and Fifth Avenue, this home offers an elevated and exceptionally convenient Midtown lifestyle.</p>
